From "The Pianist": Chopin Nocturne C sharp minor (Arjen Seinen - Piano).

In the film they use the ballade no 1, but I think this piece would be better.(Arjen Seinen Piano The Netherlands)

This is the best scene of the entire movie. The light of humanity through a dark tunnel...

[@aymanlyoubi597]

this film made me cry

[@marthafischler8408]

Heartwrenching.

[@marionsmith4728]

something so beautiful,in such an awful time and place

[@ExMachina70]

A moment of beauty, and civility in a time of chaos.

[@HalconPeregrinoAzul]

Chopin's music is beauty, beauty is Chopin's music

[@fredericfrancoischopin8067]

a very good word :)

[@josepablo1514]

Chopin was and still is from another world... purest beauty.

[@robertkonopka6545]

Chopin was the Greatest piano composer of the Romantic Era. A Polish refugee in France who's yearning for his beloved Poland inspired the most beautiful music ever written for piano.

[@morhywaden]

Just read the book by Szpilman. He said he played this nocturne on a piano that was suffering from the effects of cold and damp i.e. the action was swollen and stiff and the tuning out. I think any pianist who had lived for three years in the most terrible conditions suffering cold and extreme hunger would not have tackled the the G minor Ballade which is a much more challenging piece technically. Artistic licence a little wayward here. Incidentally the German officer was something of a saint he had helped others and his diaries were full of angst over things he had heard and witnessed. He unfortunately died in a soviet prison.

[@riserevelation8471]

You also have to take into consideration that both of them have either only hear gunfire or can’t make any noise at all, so for the past 5-6 years this has been one of the most beautiful thing they have both heard

When two enemies collides, but they share a common interest of whats makes them human, the war stops.

[@ancamg]

It's so sad, and life is so cruel sometimes. Hosenfeld didn't deserve to end his life in a Soviet prison camp.But his good acts were not in vain, as he is now known by everybody who read Szpielman's book or watched Polanski's movie

[@Insperato62]

I so enjoyed this film, but when this German Officer appeared I was very shocked. He is double of my father. My late father was English and in Bomber Command. Irony perhaps. Father loved classical music. I still find the scene disturbing. Miss you very much dad.

[@SarumanDeWhite]

Insperato62 Take care. Peace be with you.

[@GrammeStudio]

I wonder if the captain died believing his act of kindness was in vain. he suffered for 25 years in labor camp before dying. Truly tragic.

[@klistiranikrupije1724]

7 years not 25. Captain Wilm Hosenfeld died in 1952. On 16 February 2009, Yad Vashem announced that Capt. Wilm Hosenfeld would be posthumously recognized as Righteous Among the Nations. On 19 June 2009, Israeli diplomats presented Hosenfeld's son, Detlev, with the award, in Berlin.

[@andrzejbendyk6006]

Wallenberg also died in USSR. Jews did not bother too much for people saving them thow they were very influential. Maybe Spillman could not do more because he spent his life in Poland but Wallenberg saved a lot of influential Jews .

They wore the colective guilt....imagine if a proud country like britain fell....and all the troops were put in camps....you wouldnt run up to your enemy and beg....no way...you stay with your men....same for germans....they were very tradition oriented military wise....very.

[@pronateceepadm7852]

This movie earned its Oscar, for me this scene was one of the best of all time, even more with this magnificent music.

[@valeriev4333]

i had a professor for sociology in college & he gave us impactful movies to watch as assignments he gave us this one the pianist, gattaca, the crash and American beauty all those films made me cry badly i couldnt help but thank him for making them assignments they left a place in my heart

In a truly ugly world, at the moment of hopeless and despair, something this beautiful prevails.....

[@phus2001]

This movie's scene is truly amazing, but what really brings tears to your eyes, is this outstanding "Nocturne" by Chopin. This composer has a sensibility unique to none. FANTASTIC!!!

[@mihajlostojanovski9496]

I remeber i was 10 when my mom took me to see this movie in the cinema. I apologise to all the people with me in the same room, they had to listen to 1 hour of my saddest cry ever...

[@rukiyatmagomedova7655]

Не однократно смотрю эту сцену, и без слёз никогда не могу... Великая музыка и прекрасная игра почти уничтоженного войной человека..

[@robertogallardo224]

Chopin the best pianist ever

[@amydragomir6767]

Music brings peace. People cannot kill, fight, judge, hate or abuse the negative forms of any sort, if music is playing. Great movie, indeed.

[@MIKISAGAX]

What a movie ! What a music !

[@lee-lee2418]

One of my favourite movies - amazing how Adrien Brody learned piano for the movie; an absolutely beautiful piece :)

[@desireehusser2386]

Chopin gives peace to my heart and there is nothing more beautiful

[@jyttesrensen7174]

I have always loved Chopins music.

[@annie228]

I have heard a multiple version of Nocturne, they're all different that even an amateur as me can hear the differences. This piece of Chopin is great for musician to show their own personality.

[@girlspooptoo8567]

I'm pretty sure in this scene. He did not play this song to save his life, but it did. Thanks Chopin

[@specialagentmco9382]

This scene from the movie. Remember! In their memory! Every polish man and woman who help to save Szpilman are already dead at the moment he plays the music in this scene.

[@Hussien3Maki]

💔💔😢 frome iraq the pianist my favorite movie😍😢

[@angellesl9497]

Best rendition of the piece I’ve ever heard! With this exception, everyone plays Chopin way too fast. Love this; adore Chopin.

[@ZitaMenyhart]

One of the most touching scenes in this very painful movie.

[@johnspence2576]

my favorite scene from this heart-wrenching movie. I like to play, and often asked myself, "If I had to choose the last song I might ever play (at gunpoint), what would it be???" I still don't have an answer, assuming I was more talented. i have to have the sheet music, or cheat sheet/chords. but I would usually pick Chopin. He was a brilliant composer, and entertaining, because i always hope I cheat and get to play an encore. Because I always want to play.....one more. Thanks Arjen. Who would you play? Just one?? Encore?? john

[@91722854]

I believe it should be an improvised song, as that's the last piece of music you would ever heard of, by you

[@jpiccone1]

If I were a Jew hiding in an attic and a German officer told me to play something, I'd play Beethoven.

[@cosminbalan3493]

I totally get you...i also know how to play (a bit) and listening to pieces like this brings the 'final' question: what would you like to have on? After some years...i think is safe to say, just enjoy life :) Or choose Chopin :D

[@Jane-gt6ef]

John Spence I stopped watching during the ghetto scene when the desperate mothers sent their boys on the mission for food. When one of them was brutally killed right before sliding under the brick wall, I switched my computer off. I have not had courage to watch again since...

[@andrzejguz694]

brak słów do tak pięknej muzyki

[@DavoStreet]

Read his book; this is the piece that Szpilman played. The movie is inaccurate by using the ballade, so it's nice to see this video rendering some form of justice. There is a wonderful video on KZbin of Szpilman playing the nocturne as an old man.

[@alexchoe4042]

I totally agree with you!

[@smaraldgf6315]

DavoStreet i think they wanted to change a little bit because the piece was already played twice, at the beginning and at the radio, and chose something new

[@yediveren771]

I think they should have used the Nocturne instead of the Ballade in the film. This nocturne is much more beautiful than the Ballade they used.

[@Bernadette1087]

The best scene in the whole film - beautiful sad and touching in so many ways.

[@user-oe3ik5rt9q]

Фильм сильный, этот эпизод, просто до слез!

[@peterberger3928]

Regardless which music you hear _first_ connected to a movie, most people would think that no other piece would fit better. It's just the magic of first impression.

[@Paranormalin416]

Cutting onions, AGAIN!!! The depth and feeling played in this song reaches deep down to my very soul, and yanks at my heartstrings, not just the music, but what the music represents in this scene. Never have I ever been so moved by one piece of classical piano. I could barely bring myself to watch this movie, but this one scene mixes jubilant adulation, and heart wrenching sorrow, something that I’ve never seen happen in any other movie, or heard in any other piece, it’s pure brilliance, and absolutely devastating.

[@tyatya4023]

Chopin nocturne brought me to here

[@duke_of_destruction]

Humanity is something that is beautiful at times but also the most ugly thing ever. But something such as music shows that everyone has emotions within. This is something I learned growing up and was truly proven throughout history. Let the music play and all of us live life and love one another.

[@AndreKozlovsky]

It’s interesting that this German actor always plays Nazi officers. He does an awesome job though. Watch Stalingrad from 1993 (German made). He has a leading role there.

[@martyisokay]

A very emotional scene for me. Luckily, the German officer had a passion for music.

[@LShaw-ek8ms]

Amazing just amazing. Touches every nerve in your body, feels like it is coming all the way from heaven. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Wow

[@ksiaze3239]

This was the piece which Szpilman really plays then in front of Hosenfeld... Director Polanski change it to Ballade g minor don't know why..It fits into that scene but in fact it was precisely Nocturne cis minor Lento con gran espressione. I recommend to read Szpilman's memories the film based on them

[@madeleineswibel8055]

so sad and beautiful

[@davidstuart401]

Chopin's nocturne seemed to sum up the pain and distruction of a world a century later both in the Polish/Jewish pianist and the repressed Nazi who searched in his soul some sort of redemption as he too was in a bizarre way a victim of this terrible time in history.
